Are you considering building a SaaS marketing data lake for faster analytics? Learn the ins and outs of setting up a data lake in this free webinar replay.

Data lakes are the latest trend in marketing. They allow you to store data in any size and shape—semi-structured, unstructured and others. The schema on read approach allows for a flexible analytics architecture for your organization. Top CMOs and CIOs everywhere are investing in creating massive big data repositories for their marketing data.

Why invest in a data lake? Today, the individual marketing applications give you batch updates and generate reports for you. However when these data silos are broken and merged into a data lake, your organization will get access to comprehensive information about the entire web/digital behavior of your customers. This information will let you make better and faster decisions from your analytics infrastructure.
